The Nails Dig In
As abandoned as this house is
It still breaths; it's rancid heart still beats
Water spots, swollen wood, crumbling walls
The only light; windows encrusted with filth
Hate still lingers here
The inhabitents; wretched as they were
Sadistic, dysfunctional, filled with greed
Their stink; soaked into the framework
Rusting nails protrude
Many have tried; Few have succeeded
Boarded windows, padlocks, chained doors
This house; still infects those who enter
As abandoned as this house is
It still breaths; it's rancid heart still beats
Water spots, swollen wood, crumbling walls
The only light; windows encrusted with filth
Hate still lingers here
The inhabitents; wretched as they were
Sadistic, dysfunctional, filled with greed
Their stink; soaked into the framework
Rusting nails protrude
Many have tried; Few have succeeded
Boarded windows, padlocks, chained doors
This house; still infects those who enter
